Monday Morning Memo

Now that we have ended the first quarter, we are looking for your feedback in how we can make SMA the best educational and spiritually enriching experience for your family. Please take 5 minutes to complete the survey linked below. All responses are anonymous and results will be shared with the SMA community at an upcoming HSA meeting.

Applications are now open online! If you have a younger child or friend who is interested in joining our school, please have them apply here.

If you have not been receiving text message alerts from St. Mary of the Assumption, please try texting "Yes" to 301-281-4314. If you do not see a message saying that you are now subscribed, please contact alewis@stmaryum.org. This is where we will send emergency closure alerts, so it is important that all parents are subscribed.

You are invited to join us for our annual Grandparents Day Mass on Wednesday November 27th at 10:00 a.m. You do not need to be Virtus to attend this event.

Due to the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Mass scheduled for Friday December 13th will be moved to Monday December 9th, as will 8th Grade Confessions. The Monday and Friday schedule will be completely flipped that week, so 8th, 4th, and 3rd grades should wear their PE uniform on FRIDAY that week.

St. Mary of the Assumption School is celebrating 100 years of educational excellence. For the Centennial, we are sponsoring this Brick Fundraising Project to benefit the school. Proceeds from this project will give back to the school and to our families through teacher development, school infrastructure, and student scholarships.

Gala tickets are now on sale! The event has sold out the last two years, so please get your tickets as soon as possible.

Unable to attend? You can still participate by bidding on the silent auction. More items are being added daily! https://www.32auctions.com/SMA2025

Look for information soon about class basket themes!

Tuition Assistance for the 2025-2026 school year opens today! Please begin your application ASAP to ensure you are part of the first (and largest) aid distribution for the 2025-2026 school year.

Dear Families,

We hope this message finds you well. We want to inform you that the missed orders of chicken bites, carrot cake, and cheesecake will be delivered to us this Friday.

All items will be sent home with students, so please expect these delicious treats to come home with them at the end of the school day.

For parents who pick up their children during aftercare, your orders will be available for pickup in the cafeteria at that time. Please be sure to mention your pickup to aftercare staff.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Contact Clarissa Kaba hsapresident@stmaryum.org or Consuela Wintz hsavicepresident@stmaryum.org with any questions.
